“Taylor has informed me that he has decided to transfer from our program,” head coach Tony Bennett said. “His main reason is that he wants a bigger role as a player at another school. His release will be granted and we wish him well.”

Playing in 26 games last year, Barnette averaged just 2.6 points per game, although he shot a solid 43-percent from three. In fact, he was 10-18 from three in ACC play.
